46-350 works too well

I've just finished getting the 46-350 working well (had to replace the output transformer), and the problem I have is that it;s working TOO well. I can't get the volume all the way down. It seems to settle somewhere in the mid-range, and I can't completely silence a station. I checked the volume control for shorts and proper values and everything seems in spec. I replaced a couple of out of spec resistors along the way as well with no difference.
I'm not a newbie, but I'm not a pro at this either. Anyone ever have this 'problem'?
